Since our last news post in September, we have been invited to speak about HELIPORT in a variety of contexts. Our colleague Tobias Huste was so kind to present HELIPORT at Helmholtz Open Science Forum: Research Software in Leipzig this early February. In mid February, Oliver Knodel presented HELIPORT as a central, connecting part of the Digital Research Landscape at HZDR, at Helmholtz Open Science Forum "Towards Open Digital Research Ecosystems – Interconnecting Infrastructures". In March, Stefan Müller introduced HELIPORT to the particle physics community at DPG Frühjahrstagung in Karlsruhe, to show the practical aspects of documentating experiments with HELIPORT on a real example involving the gELBE facility. I went to Würzburg for deRSE24 - Conference for Research Software Engineering in Germany to present our initial ideas and gather feedback from the RSE community on the documentation of experiments involving machine learning, and how HELIPORT can help.

Last week we presented our paper "Overarching Data Management Ecosystem at HZDR" on the 1st Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI) in Karlsruhe at KIT!

Three days full of presentations 👨🏻‍🏫, posters 🖼️, and exciting discussions 🙊 around data management.

The proceedings 📚 are available here: and our presentation is available on Zenodo !

A wonderful conference made possible by the NFDI and we look forward to the second CoRDI in 2025!

Our first "HELIPORT 🚁 Community Workshop 2023" took place at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR).

Three days full of lectures 👨🏻‍🏫, posters 🖼️, tutorials and exciting discussions 🙊 around data management, metadata and our guidance system HELIPORT 🚁!

We are happy to announce the release of HELIPORT 0.6.0. 🚁

We would like to invite you to our in-person "HELIPORT 🚁 Workshop 2023" at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). In addition, we would be very thankful if you could communicate this invitation to interested colleagues.

The workshop will start at June 12, 2023, 1:00 PM and ends at June 14, 2023, 1:00 PM.

In our HELIPORT workshop, we will provide insights into our HMC project and share our results. In addition, we would like to provide a platform for the presentation of similar projects, as well as extensions or integrations from the surrounding research areas. The overall goal of the workshop is bringing together different institutions with similar challenges and establishing a community around our HELIPORT project.

We welcome submissions on related projects, metadata management in our scientific field in general or workflows. We accept contributions in the form of talks or posters. We also welcome first or future HELIPORT use-cases from within our community!
